morning, May 14, they marched from the camp on Winter Island to the Town Hall at an early hour, and spent some time there in company with their friends. The Salem Cadets, Capt. Dalton, escorted them to the City Hall, where an elegant silk American Flag was presented by Hon. W. D. Northend, in behalf of the members of Essex Bar, in an appropriate and patriotic speech. Capt. Cogswell replied in a spirited and suitable manner, and enthusiastic cheers were given. The company were then escorted to the depot, where a large crowd assembled, to speed them on their patriotic mission, and where hearty cheers went up on their departure." They were the second company which arrived at Camp Andrew, West Roxbury. OFFICERS. Captain, WILLIAM COGSWELL, Salem. 1st Lieut., EDWIN R. HILL, Salem; resigned Nov. 29, 1861. 2d Lieut., ROBERT B.

This regiment was raised under the auspices of Colonel Couch, of Taunton, a West Point graduate. It is composed chiefly of Bristol County men, who are worthy of their origin. It was ordered to camp Old Colony, Taunton, May 20, and sworn into the United States service June 15. Previous to the final organization of the regiment, one of the Taunton companies, and one from Dighton and Somerset, were disbanded, and the men detailed to the other companies in order to bring them up to the maximum required. Two companies, one from Dorchester and another from Abington, took the places of those derailed. Taunton, Fall River, and other towns in their immediate vicinity, nobly contributed tens of thousands of dollars to sustain the soldiers of the Seventh. They furnished them with uniforms, and paid to each man while drilling a bounty of fifteen dollars per month, and assisted their families when needed. Lieutenant Colonel Greene was presented with a fine black horse, six years old, by his friends of Fall River, valued at $300. The presentation was made in front of the City Hall, in presence of a great gathering of the citizens. The horse was purchased of Francis Stephens, of Swansey, who contributed fifty dollars towards the object. He was also presented with a sword by his former associates of the Police Department and Police Court. While in the camp, they were drilling about eight hours per day. On the 4th of July, a flag was presented to the regiment by Edmund Baylies, Esq., and a dinner furnished them by the ladies of Taunton. July 12, the regiment left the camp for Washington via Providence, Stonington, and Groton, where they took steamer for New York, arriving there at seven the next morning, and at ten o'clock refreshments were furnished them by the Sons of Massachusetts, and at eleven took the steamer Kill Von Kull for Elizabethport, N. J., took the cars at this place for Harrisburg, where they arrived at five o'clock A. M., the 14th, and from this point proceeded to Cockeysville, about nine miles from Baltimore, where the troops left the cars for the purpose of loading their guns. After thus properly preparing themselves to pass "through Baltimore," they once more entered the cars, and started on. Arriving at that city about half past two o'clock P. M., they formed into line and marched to the Washington depot, and soon after left for the city of Washington, where they all arrived at eight o'clock in the evening, except Company F, Captain Bliss, which arrived the next morning at three o'clock. It seems that on arriving at Baltimore, Company F was detailed to guard the baggage cars while they were drawn through the city, and upon the arrival of these cars at the Washington depot, instead of being attached to the train conveying the regiment, the baggage cars with Company F were detained several hours by some misunderstanding, thus causing no small inconvenience to the troops, who therefore had to be quartered on and about the steps of the Capitol that night. July 15, at four o'clock A. M., the regiment was ordered to fall into line and march to the depot to unload the baggage cars, and at ten o'clock they marched to Kalorama Heights, which are some two and a half miles from the Capitol, where they pitched their tents, called the roll, and found every man at his post. Their camp at this place was called camp Old Colony, and they remained here until August 13, during which time their principal duties were drilling and guarding Long Bridge. At this date they left camp Old Colony, and marched to Brightwood, where they assisted in building Forts Slocum and Massachusetts. |
